How To Make A Perfect Hard Boiled Egg Every Time

00:00 /

I didn’t really think that making hard boiled eggs were that difficult but Dr Fitness seems to think he has a foolproof way to make them perfectly every time. He says the key is not to overcook them. Here is his recipe. Cover your egg(s) in a pot with cold water. Make sure the water is about 1″-2″ inches higher than the eggs. Boil the water. Now turn off the heat, move the pot to another burner and cover the eggs. Wait 12 minutes. Now give those eggs a cold water bath. Some people like to take the shells off when the eggs are warm and some people like to wait until the eggs cool off. We don’t judge here.

It’s always a good idea to clean your fresh fruit and vegetables. Rinsing them with water is a good start but with all the bacteria and pesticides on everything these days you may want to take up your cleaning a notch. This was is something you can whip up in bulk then transfer it to a spray bottle you keep near your sink so it is always ready for you.

Mix together some lemon juice, some distilled vinegar and some baking soda. Pour that into a big jug of water. Shake it up then pour some into your spray bottle. Now spritz that stuff on your fruits and vegetables while you wash them off with tap water.

Do Allergies Cause Depression?

00:00 /

I don’t think allergies cause depression but their is probably a connection between people who suffer from seasonal allergies and people who suffer from depression. There seems to be a spike in suicides that occur in the spring that got researchers thinking about this correlation. And it seems women suffer more than men. So be on the look out for these symptoms: mood swings and sleeplessness.
